Evie
Do you think Evie can stand alone or does it have to be a nn for something? I really like Evelyn and Genevieve but I can't use Genevieve as its Grant's ex's name (she goes by Gen though)Which is better?
Evie
Eve
Eva
Ava
Evelyn (which nn)>>> Evie/ Eve/ EvaTIA

I love the name Evie! I also like Eve and Evelyn and love Ava. I definitely think Evie can stand on it's own, no problems. Out of all those names I think I'd probably go with Evie though.

I love it as a nickname, but it's hideously cutesy and childish as a given name.I love Eve and Eva with Evie as the nickname.

I view Evie as soooo sweet that I definitely prefer it as a nick. It's right up there with Katie, imo (totally adorable but just not strong enough on its own).I prefer:Eve
Eva
Genevieve
Evangeline
Evangelina
Evelyn

I definitely think it needs to be short for something (unless you just adore Evie and hate all names it can be short for, I suppose). I like Eve, Genevieve, and Evelyn the best. Eve seems the most straightforward, and it's lovely, I think.

Evie is much too informal for my liking as a given name.My favorite full names for it are Eve and Evanthe. (I also like/love Evelina, Evelyn, Evgenia/Evgeniya, Genevieve, and Guinevere. And...Evening is one of my guilty pleasures.)

I think Evie should be used as a nickname, although I have met an Evie whose name was just Evie. And of course, BTN lists it as a name, and that makes me think it's perfectly valid.I do like it as a nickname for Evelyn. And I love Genevieve... it's a shame you can't use it.Evelyn is my favorite from that list, with the nickname Evie, although I would be inclined to use the full name.

I think Evie can stand alone as a full name. It's getting quite popular in Britain, I think. I'm not a fan of Evelyn as it sounds like an old lady's name to me, but that maybe because I have a 90-year-old great aunt with that name so I associate it with older people. The only other Evelyn I know is in her 20s and she goes by the name Evie anyway. If it was me personally, I'd use Evie or Eve or Eva with Evie as a nickname.Rose.x

I don't think it would work too well as a fn. Just seems like it's short for something, like Evangeline.Eve, Evelyn / Eveline or Evangeline with nn Evie would get my vote.

Personally, I wouldn't use it as a full name because it just sounds too much like a mere nickname tome. However, as far as NNs go, it isn't too cutesy. I wouldn't mind it as a full name on somebody else's child.

Eva "Evie" would get my vote. I don't really see it as a name that can stand alone. Other names for "Evie":
Elisheva
Evadne (I really like this one for "Evie")
Evangeline
Eveline
Geneva
Genoveva
(or maybe as a stretch for: Neve or Guinevere)

Evie and Eve are brilliant nn for Evelyn. Wouldn't use Eva though.

Evie sounds nny to me, but if you really disliked all the full options then it could work alone.Eve or Evelyn nn Evie would be my choice, though I used to love Evadne and Evgenia nn Evie.
